Lake Regional Health System Family Birth Center hosted a ”What’s Your Color” 5K to raise money for Relay for Life of Camden County. Individuals, families and friends gathered Saturday morning at Osage Beach City Park, some in costume, to complete the run.

One hundred percent of the proceeds raised at the event will go toward funding for cancer research and financial assistance for patients and their families. More than 500 hundred people showed up and raised a record $11,000 for Relay for Life.

According to their website, the Relay for Life of Camden County ”What’s Your Color” 5K is an event “celebrating life, happiness, remembrance, and awareness.”

Participants started the race wearing all white, and finished in living color.
